Celebrating YOU for the Taiko Time 7th Anniversary


Our Anniversary celebration could not have been complete without a showcase for the loyal readers we have, and this is for you guys!

Again, we are only three guys trying our best to bring you Taiko no Tatsujin scoop outside the mostly Japanese-exclusivity (not completely as of recently, gratefully), and we wouldn't have stayed for 7 years without your continued support, and even the occasional tip-off to stuff we ourselves missed.

As a collective gratitude, here is us dedicating one whole post on the hidden talents among yourselves!

If we haven't mentioned it enough times, the Taiko Time team is now kinda based in this Taiko no Tatsujin server in terms of Discord presence. And in this server there is the #taikojiro channel where people can share their notechart creations. As an example is the following notechart for Dream to Nightmare (of Pump It Up origins) by Psyk, featuring scrollbar gimmicks like back-and-forth turntable scratches and clever sudden pauses among the ambientic tight streams.



To this point you might say, "Yeah we know the Taiko Time reader can and will chart stuff: you guys had a (kinda died-off) feature of Made By You. What else is new?" Well how about a lyrics video, my dear disgruntled hypothetical reader?

While our Mada Saitama 2000 Lyrics Feature is still under work, Discord user fartiliumstation has made a lyrics video for it on YouTube, even with handy side reference tables to help with understanding. As I looked over, everything is accurate with the theories so far. Who would have knew in advance that it was all about [REDACTED for spoilers]?



And finally, believe it or not, but the Discord server has actually helped unearthed one of the greatest discoveries for the whole Taiko no Tatsujin franchise. The discovery is so that we're going to leave the reveal for a separate Almost Transient Mysteries post on Sunday. Stay tuned then! (or you know, if you know what to search for you can actually go to the Discord server and see right now how it actually happened)

Addendum (2017/09/21): Thanks to other commitments like real life the "Sunday" for the "separate Almost Transient Mysteries post" is now Sunday the 24th September. Sorry for the delay but rest assured there won't be further delays because it is written and scheduled.
